Quantcast



We knew they were coming, but apart from one obscure drawing of Kefka and some FMV of Sephiroth, we haven't seen much of the Final Fantasy franchise's two most iconic villains in the PSP mash-up Dissidia. This new video finally shows off gaming's most evil clown and the son of Jenova in all their game engine glory.

I must say, Kefka looks absolutely wonderful, and I am loving his animation the shown cutscene. Also, we get to see the characters moved around some sort of board during this trailer. A strategy element perhaps? 

I am so hard for this game right now I could literally break rocks with the contents of my pants. Someone needs to hurry the HELL up and get this into my hands.

Clearly, I need to play more Final Fantasy games so I recognize some of these characters.

If you look at all the old artwork for Kefka you could tell he was always meant to be a slender guy. It just didn't translate well into sprite form. I think he only really looked muscular when he was turned into his god like form.

The Kefka designs were always thin, as was Kefka in the PSX FMVs. The style of SNES RPG's definitely makes people look.. well.. Super Deformed (SD), so that's why he looked beafy.

Is Cloud not in this? It just hit me.. I didn't see any Cloud. Why would they have Sephiroth but no Cloud?

I'm thinking Cloud will get announced sooner or later.. or is at least a secret character.

Regardless.. MORE CHARACTERS FROM FF6 SHOULD BE IN EVERYTHING! How about Sabin.. or Shadow.. or Cyan....

I like the look of where this game is headed. I hope they toss in some non Final Fantasy square/enix characters also as secret or bonus characters. It'd be cool to see then at least ACKNOWLEDGE that they have other franchises.

*i mean to say "It'd be cool to see them", and by them, i mean mainly the Square part of SquareEnix.

The fact that is no FFIV character there saddens me the most.
Degraded from must-buy to rent only.

Kefka: The Joker of the Final Fantasy Universe. I'm betting he was speaking in Japanese during the trailer (speakers malfunctioning), but if he was voiced by Mark Hamill, using his Joker voice...

...THAT would be awesome!

So, is this officially the first time that Kefka would have a voice? (other than that warbled creepy laugh)

When they do the English dub, they really should get the Kefka cosplayer guy to do it.

That was for Kefka, by the way.

Um.. I officially just lost my mind. I'm going to go fap myself to death with Kefka now. @.@ Thanks Jim! :D

I wonder why they only showed Kefka once, and not with any of the other (main?) villians during the trailer? How big of a part does he really play? And where the fudge are the other FFVI characters? And for that matter, why haven't they shown Cloud yet? He should pretty much be guarenteed a spot in this game, especially with Sephiroth featured so prominently.

Dammit, someone do an English sub of this already! I want to know what the hell is going on! D:

I looked very closely at this video and the better quality one on SquareEnix website. When they show the distant shot of the 10 heroes there's a figure standing near the center-right of them that strongly resembles Vincent Valentine. He has a long ominous cape and the lanky build.

If this is true, Vincent would be a major disappointment. The FF7 protagonist truthfully needs to be Cloud for a various assortment of reasons. 1, Cloud and Sephiroth represent the polar ends of good and evil... they are opposite sides of the coint. 2, Cloud is the face of the most successful game in the Final Fantasy franchise. 3, the PSP character model is pretty much done already thanks to Crisis Core. Just copy/paste him into Dissidia!

Playable Kefka would be enough to get my to start playing my PSP again.

random thought: between Kefka and The Joker in MK Vs. DC, "clown characters" seem to be on the rise in fighting games.

Everyone loves psychotic yet brilliantly logical villains. It's playing with our dark side and lack of faith in humanity.

@Paul and otaku:
BZZT!
SO SORRY, but that's incorrect!
Crispin Freeman as Kefka is the correct answer.
